More braces

Today B and L had their initial orthodontic appointments with E's orthodontist. Both need braces - that I knew! B has a bit of an underbite and a small mouth (like mother, like son). He's going to have to have some teeth pulled so he's upset about that. He also has a tooth in the roof of his mouth (apparently, not too uncommon) and the orthodontist suggested that needs to come out as well.

L gets two rounds of braces. The first will straighten her teeth a bit, then a second set later will finish the job. We also learned that she's missing two lower permanent teeth. The orthodontist said we can shift existing teeth around to make everything fit, or possibly have fake teeth put in. I'm voting for option 1. They both have appointments in June to get their braces on.
